I have been a member at The Welcome Mat since August of 2019. The owners, Toni and Sam, are friendly and welcoming to all who enter. The studio offers an ambience that fosters peace and healing while engaging in your practice.

Read moreThis is by far the best yoga studio I have had the pleasure of practicing at. I had the privilege of coming here for about a year while I was living in Bay Shore and I looked forward to coming in to practice after working all day! They have created such a beautiful and peaceful environment to practice yoga in and feel truly welcomed! I had the opportunity to practice with many/most of the instructors and they made doing yoga such a fun, challenging and positive experience for me. You can tell that a lot of time and energy goes into developing great sequences for classes as well as creating that safe and welcoming environment to learn in. The instructors really pay attention and help you to make adjustments so that you can further your practice. I really appreciated my time at The Welcome Mat and I hope I will be able to drop in for a class when I’m in the area. If you are looking for a yoga studio to begin your practice or continue it please look no further than The Welcome Mat. Thank you for all that you...
